Just dropping in the wish all my FR FRiends

Happy New Year.

May your new year be happier and more prosperous than the last.

Mr. Beachy and I are off early to see The Hobbit,
so I can't hang around long.
Gotta get some breakfast and then off.
But will be back on Wed. morn.

Time for me to make my rounds.
But, you stay right where you are.
Keep your eyes on your monitor.
Cause......I'll be bock

Now remember, the Canteen is ALWAYS

Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT

Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allied military and the family members of the above. Honoring those who have served before.

When I was stationed in Berlin two of the most popular locations to re-enlist was Checkpoint Charlie and the Airlift Memorial.
